Full details

This versatile shoe reimagines the 2000s GT-2160, featuring ASICS' DuoMax Support System, IGS technology, and GEL cushioning for comfort and stability.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the DuoMax Support System?
The DuoMax Support System is ASICS' midsole technology that provides enhanced stability and support, particularly helpful for runners who overpronate.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of GEL cushioning and support technologies makes them suitable for marathon distances for neutral runners. However, individual comfort and shoe lifespan should be considered.
How do I know if I am a neutral runner?
A neutral runner typically has a normal arch and their foot strikes the ground with a balanced motion. If your feet roll inward excessively (overpronation) or outward (supination), you may benefit from different shoe types.
What makes the DIME collaboration unique?
The DIME collaboration adds unique design elements, including specific colorways and branding, such as the embossed DIME logo on the heel, distinguishing it from standard ASICS models.
Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?
While designed for running, the comfort and style of the ASICS GT-2160 DIME Arctic Wolf make them suitable for casual wear and walking. However, for sports requiring lateral stability, cross-training shoes might be more appropriate.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
Running shoes typically last between 300 to 500 miles. Factors like running surface, body weight, and gait can affect their lifespan. Look for signs of wear like compressed cushioning or worn-out treads.
Do the reflective accents add significant weight?
The reflective accents are integrated into the shoe's design and are very lightweight, so they do not add noticeable weight or negatively impact performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with the type of socks you typically run in. Break them in gradually with shorter runs.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
The cushioning may naturally compress after significant use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their expected lifespan (typically 300-500 miles of running).
Slipping during runs.
Check the outsole for wear and tear. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces for the shoe's design. Clean the outsole to remove any accumulated debris that might affect traction.
Reflective accents are not visible.
Reflective accents are most effective under direct light sources in low-light conditions. Ensure the lights are hitting the shoe at the correct angle.
